2:22 am
correspondent peter all of which is mind to about. the human brain it's incredibly complex so complex in fact we know little about how it works european scientists are planning to supercomputers to try and change that all parts of the human brain project with this technology we can do behavioral experiments in simulation with a degree of fidelity that wasn't possible before the neuro about its platform will provide interfaces to real systems in simulation we consider this a starting point for completely new develop development in the potter it's not only in robotics that they hope to break ground the program will also seek out new ways to treat brain injuries and mental health problems the project is based in switzerland but over the next ten years will involve institutions europe wide one of the sticking points though is the cost currently estimated at around one point

two billion euro the e.u. funding that's prompted an open letter of protest from neuroscientists who are concerned the money is not going to the right place i joined it very nice to have such a large amount of money devoted to neuroscience but then first of all it should indeed be devoted to nursing homes and not a computer in st and there are worries the approach could be all wrong in the end you have two problems rather than one mainly you have still the brain that you don't understand and in addition you agree it is the machine that you don't understand with europe still not out of the woods economically and barking on such a project with e.u. money is risky with only one real loser. the taxpayer and they pay twice additional costs increase national debt so taxpayers pay first for the initial cost then they face extra costs that come in post planning. all of which
2:24 am
has sparked a debate in scientific circles whether it's bet is to keep your mind on your money when it comes that this project or whether the e.u. is correct in spending money on the mind peter all of a. it's almost time for sophia incoherent author international unless you're joining us from the u.k. good morning to you about to be joined by people of ellen as guests for another bout of fisticuffs on one of our top stories out of the ongoing gaza crisis. death row inmate joseph would rise in pain during a two hour execution this prolonged suffering was not part of the plan and not constitutional but an accident and not quite

a unique wanted that just this year in both oklahoma and my native ohio there have been botched executions due to complications with lethal injection one judge alex kozinski who voted to give would a stay of execution due to the questionable nature of lethal injection drugs said that the good old firing squad would be a lot more humane and his opinion eight or ten large caliber bullets fired at close range inflict massive damage causing instant death every time i think we feel injection is popular not for the executed but for society as judge kozinski said shooting someone in the head with a machine gun is instant death so why don't they use the firing squad because that would be messy and raise questions quietly injecting people way from prying public eyes allows the dirty deed to be done without the hassle of ugly news footage i think that it says something odd about society that we must kill the wicked and murderous but could you do it in a bloodless way completely out of sight i don't want to lose my appetite but that's just my opinion.
